When a school wants a secondary application sent "at the same time you send AADSAS materials," yet has a deadline of December 1st, for example, does this mean that once I submit my AADSAS app I should immediately finish and submit the secondary app now? Or do I have until December 1st to submit it?

I ask because I want to submit my primary app by the end of this week, but will have lots of secondaries to finish. Should I start the secondaries now and submit the primary and secondaries later... around the same time? Or submit the primaries now and finish the secondaries as fast as possible?

Thanks!

I just submitted my AADSAS application a few hours ago. After I submitted I went through and checked out each school's secondary requirements and wrote down a list of all the schools that said "at the same time you send AADSAS materials". I've sent two of the eight so far. I'd say get your AADSAS in first and then get those "at the same time..." secondaries in as soon as possible. Kind of sucks that it's mainly just more money.

Turn in your secondaries ASAP because some schools won't look at your app until your secondary ($$MONEY$$) is in.

They just say that so you get them done now as opposed to later. It's better for them and for you, as stated above - they won't look at your app until you pay them.

Your application hasn't been mailed yet, you still have a substantial amount of time.

Complete asap because a complete package includes the primary, secondary, dat scores, and lor.

However, you have a few weeks before the earliest schools can even begin reviewing your app.

What if it says: "send these materials directly to the dental school only when an Admissions officer contacts you:"
For these schools we just wait, right?

Yes you just wait till they email or call you. It's usually email I believe, so just check your email that you put on your app constantly lol.
